Oh, the Places We'll Go...
return engagement by Rebecca Whitehurst
in
chashama's 266 West 37th Street Window
August 15 - 24, 2006, 5p &
6p daily
a Rebecca Whitehurst solo dance installation
inspired by interviews of NYC apartment dwellers, explores 4 different
characters: their stories, their spaces, and their philosophy on
'territory' in the city.
The sagas range from a hilarious young
man who lives in a piano-shaped room with a shower head directly over his
toilet, to an older woman who simply adores creative space and so now
resides in e.e.cumming's old row. The movement vocabulary and use of space
differs for each character, gestures interweave with release and acrobatic
choreography. Walls and windows are played with, as Whitehurst embodies
the varied thoughts and feelings on living space.
Passersby will
be able to hear the interviews, witness Whitehurst's accompanying
performance, and--if inclined--share their own stories by slips of paper
and a box that sit outside the window. |

and a panel discusion with Liza Politi [spent 1 yr @
ground zero], Luis Colon [s6k.com 9/11 researcher], and
others TBA, moderated by Darryl Hell.

relevant 9/11 documentary to date, Loose Change 2. It
will play continuously w/sound, except during forums or performances.

Song as Muse: When Art
and Music Meet
by Kathryn Gerhardt
Concert Photography and Mixed Media
on Canvas inspired by the Music of TRAIN
August 2 - 28, 2006
chashama Gallery, 217 E. 42nd Street (between 2nd
& 3rd Avenues)
(this venue is handicap accessible)
Kathryn
Gerhardt's "Song As Muse" series is another step in the evolution of her
paintings based on the megalithic symbols carved in the ancient stone
structures of Ireland. In the tradition of the ancients, who used these
symbols to tell stories and communicate, Ms. Gerhardt's paintings tell the
stories of our modern day "bards," musicians, with a contemporary twist.
"These particular paintings are based on songs by the band
Train. Their music and the lyrics, by lead singer
Pat Monahan, have brought great inspiration and joy to me
during difficult periods of my life," says Ms. Gerhardt, "By illustrating
these songs, I have been able to place myself inside of them ? to become a
part of them ? as they have become a part of me."
